This is a New York Times notable book, and it deserves to be. I really enjoy books that creep up behind me and grab me. This is a story of Lafayette Proulx who is in the doldrums of middle age; has quit his job and left his wife to pursue his writing career, and an extra marital affair. Somehow amidst a raft of rejection letters and his girlfriend's stage IV cancer, Laf finds himself, his passion, and remarkably, a quiet place to reflect upon his life. This book beautifully describes the inertia that life proposes at times, sometimes with humor, sometimes with tragedy. It is a wonderful exploration of the places we find ourselves that we never thought we would be. I recommend this book.
Check it out at your library. M
